Toolkit Description: RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Aiken Technical College is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Radiation Protection which is drawn from curriculum taught in the Associate in Applied Science with a Major in Radiation Protection Technology program at Aiken...

This learning activity will provide an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and research skills in chemistry by asking them to investigate corrosion rates of metals and draw conclusions from their experiments. Students will measure corrosion rates in specific alloys and apply...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers nanotechnology in literature and culture. The purpose of the lesson is for students to "read and analyze science outside of their textbooks." At the end of the lesson, students discuss nanotechnology's implications...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces elementary students to the concept of using tools to gather information about the world around them. This provides a useful skill foundation for students as they continue into middle and high school and...

Module Description: This module, provided by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), includes background information and an activity on ring polymers. This module is a variation of the Cross-Linked Polymers lesson that is available to view separately. "This version uses a form of...

Based at Carnegie Mellon University, the Robotics Academy is designed to help young people learn about the world of robotics through interactive activities, videos, and lesson plans. First-time visitors can check in on the "Educators" area to learn about the STEM-based curriculum and educational...

This 35-page user guide, provided by Michigan Technological University, is intended to explain how the concepts of programming a robotic arm relate to the RobotRun program. "RobotRun is a robotic arm simulator, which is designed to teach the user the basics of interacting with a robotic arm via a...

From the GeoExchange Initiative at Gateway Technical College, this Course Outcome Summary describes Rotary: Air Boring Applications in which students learn "to drill/bore vertical boreholes in clay and rock formations using air rotary and downhole air hammer technology." In addition to the course...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides content and activities that allow the participants to locate safety data sheets, extract information, and compare the potential hazards of two or more chemicals. "MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concept of scale by demonstrating factors of ten. The activity "facilitates the introduction and reinforcement of the metric scale and paves the way to the discussion of lengths that are smaller than...
